1t seems little strange in view of
the fact that the "hoodlum" accompa-
niment to the parade of the Salvation
Army was making most of the din
with their cow bells, ETC., that these
we're not arrested Friday evening. It
is a poor rule that won't work both
ways, and while the BAzoo is not,
and never has been in favor of the
Salvation Army parade, yet if strict
justice is to be done there shonld be
reference to actual rights in the mat
ter, and not merely individual opinion.

 between the Puritan and Atlantic was as
 close and exciting as possible. The May
 flower, too, did beautifully on the run to the
 finish and the manner in which she cut down
 the lead of the Priscilla showed what she
 might have done had she been handled as her competitors were on the windward work. Just after the big sloops crossed the finish line heavy rain storm set in with dense fog and the finish of the schooners and small CT classes could not be seen except from the judges boat and only with difficulty then. The excursion steamers at once headed for home, the headlands were quickly denuded of their animate adornment and the greatest contest in the history of yachting in the waters of New England was practically ended.

AFTER THE DROUTH THE RAIN. Wind and Lightning Play Havoc With
 Life and Property.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 1.-The rain was gene ral throughout the State last night and the drouth has been broken. The storm was ac- companied by high wind which played havoc with trees and buildings. At Richland Gen. ter Krauskopf's sawmill, the St. Paul round house and an addition to the Merchants Hotel were unroofed. The brick wall of a burned building was blown down on Krous- kopfs office, which was demolished Hail broke thousands of panes of glass in Richland Center and throughout the county and corn was badly riddled. At Museoda two barns were struck by lightning and consumed to- gether with two hundred tons of hay and much farm machinery. An electric dynamo at Mazomanie was struck by lightning and probably ruined. A daughter of Jenson Miller, of Fulton, and Miss Henderson of Illinois, guest of the Miller family, were drowned by the capsizing of a boat in the storm on Lake Keogusa. Two others were rescued. The victims were about twenty years of age. The lake is being dragged to- day. At Lancaster, Grant county, lightning struck the barn of Thomas Beetham, which was destroyed together with it's contents Beetham and a daughter were rendered in sensible and the COWS which they were milk ing were killed.

 CoNsTANTINoPLE, Aug. 11.-Prince Ferdi- nand has telegraphed to the Sultan notifying him of his departure for Bulgaria and ex- pressing the hope that he will accept his election to the Bulgarian throne He says further that he goes to Bulgaria to accept in conformity with the Sultan's wishes and that his intention is to govern the country with love, justice and equally as respects all re- ligions. He also sent to the SuIta n copy of proclamation declaring that the Bulga- rian people are determined to walk in the ways of liberty and civilization.
 WIDDIN, Aug. 1.-The city is decorated arrival of Prince Ferdinand. A triumphal which bears the inscription: Bulgaria triumphantly greets you. Her happiness is in your hands. She trusts you to defend independence. The country and the people will be with you"
 ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 1.-The Journal de St. Petersburg expresses it's astonishment that Prince Ferdinand's journey should be spoken of as an adventure. For Prince Fer dinand's sake it regrets that he so promptly forgot all the necessary preliminary condi- tions which should be observed before his election could take effect. The Princes ob- liviousness to all conditions of legality and conventional procedure is certainly not likely to induce Russia to modify her views respect ing the illegality of his election. His disre- gard of the Porte and the powers is too mani fest to permit of their approving his journey.

Terrihle sights Among the Dead.
A HorrihIa Ineident of the WrscI

HOrF1bIe Incident OH the wreck
 CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-A Chicago Times For est, H., special says: There was one incident of the accident which stood out more horri- ply than all of those horrible scenes. In the second coach was man, his wife and little child. His name could not be learned to-day, but it is said he got on at Peoria. When the accident occurred the entire family of three was caught and held down by the broken wood work. Finally when relief came the man turned to the friendly aid and feebly said: 'sTake out my wife first. I'm afraid the child is dead" So they carried out the mother and as a broken seat was taken off her crusoed breast the blood which welled from her lips told how badly she was hurt. They carried the child, haired blue eyed girl of three, and laid her in the corn field dead alongside of her dying mother. Then they went back to the father and brought him out. Both his legs were broken,
 but he crawled through the corn to the side of his dying wife and feeling her loved fea- lures in the darkness pressed some brandy to her lips and asked her how she felt. A feeble groan was the only answer and the next in stant she died. The man felt the forms of his dead wife and child and cried out My God! There is nothing more for me to live for now," and taking 8 pistol out of his pocket pulled the trigger. The bullet went through his brain and the three dead bodies of that little family are now lying side by side in Chatsworth waiting to be identified.

"Its twelve years ago since began

safras" said Thomas Sapp. Mr.. Sapp

has different effects upon different peo-

little of it every day. Some folks
will take whole bunch and chew il

others will boil it down, get the

Worship in Chinese Temples.

There is no such thing as joint wor-
ship by congregations in any of the
temples in China, nor have the Chi
nese any Sabbath. The division OF
the days into weeks is unknown among
them. The first and fifteenth days of
each moon are more particularly set
apart for worship at the temples, but
there is even then no cessation of bust
ness.
The temples are open day and night
throughout the year, priest is always
in attendance, and wick floating in a
cup of oil is always kept burning be
fore the image or the tablet
The ordinary form of worship is
very simple, and occupies less than q
minute. A Chinaman comes in, buys
for cash or two, several sticks of in
cense from the priest, who lights them
for him at the sacred flame. These
are handed to the worshipper, who
places them, lighted end mp, in q
bronze incense burner before the idol
He then prostra,es himself on rug
before the image, and knocks his head
three times upon the floor, the priest
meanwhile beating a huge drum o'
bell in order to attract the attention o.
Buddha. This done, the worshippel
rises and goes about his business
This is the invariable form of worship

Twenty Miles of Lava.

The steamer Aus ALA, which ar
rived recently at San Francisco from
Honolulu, brings full particulars of the
great lava flow, Mauns Loa. The
sight is described as magnificent be-
yond description. The column of fire
was first observed from the summit of
the crater on the night of Jan. 16
The fire dies down before midnight,
but great volcanic disturbances contn-
ued up to the night of the 18th, when
fire and lava again burst forth from
the mountain side. The length of the
flow is estimated at twenty miles.
This distance the lava accomplished
in two days, spreading as II descended,
reaching the sea on the evening of
Jan. 20.
The stream of lava continued to
flow without interruption until the
2Olh, when a river of fire burst forth,
following the line of lava flow. When
the fires famed out the heavy earth
quakes ceased, although slight tremors
were felt at intervals thereafter.

English vs. American Girls.

Being asked by reporter about the
success of American girls in England,
Mrs. Langtry, the Jersey Lily said ::
"You know pretty American lgirl is
likely to be very charming to an En-
glishman. She knows so much more
than English girls. She can be so
much more amusing. She is trained
up to make herself interesting, and she
is thoroughly s-lf-possessed at fifteen
years of age. One rarely hears any
thing of an ENGLISH woman, however,
until she is married. She is brought
up in seclusion u, i'll she is eighteen, or
nineteen, or TWEEN y, and then put into
low dress and sent out into the world
of fashion. But to be seen, not heard.
Indeed, au English girl in company
is frightened at the sound of her own
voice, and if married woman even,
much less man, speaks to her, she
bushes. ."-Philadelohia Times.
